After playing around with different settings for these baskets, I went back to my original plan. I already had the brown fabric from a birthday shopping trip a couple years ago that I've been wanting to use forever. It seems like a fabric that requires a more formal setting, but maybe that's just me?

The other setting that
almost made me change everything I had planned out was the one below. Hmmm... So very interesting. Of course I love baskets in almost any color or setting so I can always see numerous possibilities. I played with the different settings so much I actually gave myself a headache. lol
 |
| Another setting to play with.... |
Then I went back to my Low Volume quilt because really, it was so close to a finish, how could I ignore it for much longer? I'm really happy with the end result--how old fashioned it looks yet, not old fashioned all at the same time. I know. I'm confusing myself.

| A completed quilt top (maybe!) |
I am going to fold it up and put it away with my other completed quilt tops for now. There is always the possibility that I will add another border onto it and play with it some more on another day, but for now I'm satisfied with what is done. I really thought I'd at least add on enough hst's to edge the two sides that don't have them, but it didn't look right to me when I auditioned them. So--enough is enough. Moving on.
 |
| Low volume with just a little extra. |
Playing with the basket settings made me want to rush upstairs and start working on other basket blocks, so of course I did. No impulse control at all! I had bought a third of a yard of some interesting fabric the other day when my mother dragged me into a quilt store against my will. Funny how the colors are the exact colors I see when I look outside the window in my quilting room.

| Getting derailed..... |
So far it's looking quite different from my current ongoing projects, but it's definitely holding my interest. I'm thinking this will end up as a medallion quilt. Hope the baskets will succeed in holding the center down.*wink

| Hmm... Who can resist these baskets? |

ReplyDeleteYes, your vertical setting for your baskets looks good. And your new basket project setting looks interesting too. Sure wish my Mum would drag me into a quilt shop!
ReplyDeleteThe 'original plan' is great, the background fabric seems to be made for that. Aren't baskets wonderful? I can understand you making other types as well now. Have to make a basket quilt of some sort myself someday....Love your low volume quilt, the colored triangles really make the quilt come alive.
